I’m sure this has been asked before so apologies , but just wondering how most people felt after the Pfizer , were any side effects relatively short lived?

[quote delilahbucket]@PurplePi I've just got off the phone to the doctors and that is two I've spoken to now that know nothing about Covid Arm. Incidentally the rash on my arm has almost disappeared, although it still feels hot. I've got a lovely little scar, like a mini version of the TB scar 🙄.
My reaction has been dismissed as anything to do with my vaccine and they are giving a different antibiotic. If I'm still unwell tomorrow I've got to call 111. This has completely put me off getting my second vaccine which really pains me because I was so keen.
I'm glad you have logged it, that's what is needed and I wish more people would use that system.[/quote]
What I’m getting frustrated with is people being told that what they're feeling is nothing to do with the vaccine! They’re totally dismissing them. My brothers partner had a full body rash hours after the vaccine and 111 told her it is unrelated to the vaccine. I’ve also read of others being told their headache isn’t to do with the jab and other side effects.

I’m sorry you’re feeling so unwell. I hope you’re better by tomorrow but definitely call 111 first thing if you’re no better ❤️

Sorry to hear about that. Please don't let it put you off getting your next dose, if you tell the vaccine centre you had an allergic reaction then they can take extra care of you to make sure you're ok. And it is cellulitis then that's bad luck, but shouldn't repeat.

Felt like I’d been hit by a bus yesterday. A very spaced out “not in the room” feeling until 5pm next day then I felt fine. Not even my arm hurts now. So my symptoms lasted about 17 hours. Back at the gym this morning feeling fine. Hopefully stays that way.
I had this, felt ok, then the past few days I've been extremely tired and spacey. Usually I lift heavy weights & run, but I've struggled with my weights & felt so exhausted I've been unable to run.

First Jab I felt fine the next day but then day 2-5 felt like I had a hangover. Also had really bad dizziness, no pain in arm at all. Second jab I had a sore arm and day 2 til now (day 5 post jab) have been dizzy and fainted several times.
Day 2 after first dose here and I’m also dizzy! How long did the dizziness last? Was absolutely fine yesterday apart from the sore arm, but hope the dizziness goes away cause I can’t really do anything.

I had Pfizer 2 weeks ago and the only symptom was a very mild arm ache the next day.
DH also had Pfizer and he felt a little flu-ey for a day or two.
We're both in our 30s and had Corona in Jan.
